It would certainly be nice if each use of units was quoted in both systems though, unless it makes no sense to do so (e.g. non-engineering-oriented science articles). Putting in miles is appropriate, but not providing a conversion for them is sloppy.

It's not sloppy if the editor doesn't know how to do the conversion.
Wouldn't it be cool to have some kind of macro system for pint, liter/litre, kilogram/kilogramme, foot, and whatnot--something not unlike the date conversion system we use, that enables me to see 8 October, 1988 where an American would see October 8, 1988.
